One of the leading providers of prison phone services has been recording calls between inmates and their attorneys, according to an anonymous hacker who turned over some 70 million phone records to The Intercept.

In an apparent act of “hacktivism,” the hacker reportedly leaked the records out of concern that the provider, Securus Technologies, was violating inmates’ constitutional rights by recording their conversations with legal counsel.
